It should prompt you about deleting the partition, and provide a checkbox for deleting all related partitions. Check that, then click "OK". It should clear them out. If there's any more you want to delete, rinse and repeat. Then you can use the drop down menu to select Btrfs and have it create the layout as you attempted before. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
